Brighton Pier Murmuration

You can't beat a free of charge tourist attraction, and Brighton Pier shared a stunning one with us tonight. We have been to Brighton on numerous occasions but had no idea of this daily winter phenomenon as dusk presents a Starling spectacular.  Apparently numbers have dropped in recent years so you may want to catch...

Thumbelina goes to Brighton 

Thumbelina was bought for me by a very dear work friend for my 50th birthday. Our first trip out this year and I thought it only fair to let her tell you how her holiday was.  My first holiday away! They've taken me to their caravan, I've got my own seat by the big front... Continue Reading →

Kilrock Multi Purpose Descaler

Living and doing most of our caravanning in the South East of England with a hard water supply means our kettle, over time, acquires a chalky limescale build up on the element and on the inside of the kettle. Built in filters on the spout generally do a good job of keeping little floaty residual... Continue Reading →

The Beautiful Game 

Gutted really, our front caravan window here at Brighton Caravan Club site is looking out towards Whitehawk FC's pitch and I had mentally made an appointment to attend Saturday's match versus Hemel Hempstead in England's 6th tier of league football. If you follow or have stumbled upon this blog page before you have probably already... Continue Reading →

Wessex ‘Waterless Wash’ for vehicles

I am very lazy when it comes to washing the caravan but so many keep their caravans and motorhomes so shiny clean I am shamed into making more of an effort. Unless it's high summer I soon find myself with water dripping from the sponge down my forearms to my elbow in a freezing mess,... Continue Reading →

An evening in the life of…

An evening in the caravan is so different to an evening at home. For a start we don't have a TV, no news, no One Show, no Corrie, oh how I miss my Corrie. I feel caravan life, I smell caravan life and my goodness, it smells good.  An evening normally starts as the sun... Continue Reading →

Looking back at 2016

Looking back it seems like we have packed an awful lot of trips into 2016 and done quite a bit of tinkering to make the caravan more personal to us. We upgraded our Orion 400-2 for a Bailey Pursuit 560-5 and with the arrival of the Pursuit in November, 2015 the blog was born. We... Continue Reading →

Our Vinyl Release

Could you part with your vinyl record collection? Probably the first blog we noticed about full-time travelling in a motorhome was 'Eric and Shazza''Big Momma's Great Adventure' whereby Eric, who we briefly met in his role of Caravan Club Site warden, realised he needed to clear out his, quote .." tat  cherished possessions" before embarking on...

Laundry Egg by Eco-Egg – update

Spotted this little gadget in a recent online sale and thought 'Why not? Let's give it a try!' A spring blossom scented Laundry Egg that replaces your regular washing powder. I'm a little bit choosy, normally,  about my choice of detergent. I have quite sensitive skin on my face and take medication for it so have... Continue Reading →
